Neopolitan Mastiffs thrive in households with yards. Nevertheless, they are generally calm inside the house and can adjust to apartment or condo life, provided that it's large enough to let them sprawl. This breed is generally clumsy and may find it challenging to navigate stairs, especially when they're puppies. On the bright side, they're average shedders. Weekly brushing may do, plus attentive cleaning routines on their skin folds and wrinkles.
Neopolitan Mastiffs can shoo away intruders but aren't likely to be aggressive for nothing. Early socialization goes a long way in teaching them to behave when they're with fellow animals and people. Laziness and obesity can be a problem, though, especially without enough exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight is necessary to protect them from diseases that shorten their lifespan.
These pups aren't for timid/beginners. Confident trainers are needed— someone who's loving, firm, and consistent. As strong-willed dogs, Neos can't help but test if you mean your words.
